Dollar Tree, known for its $1 deals, is raising prices to cope with rising shipping costs and inflation


quote:

"Freight costs have reached unprecedented levels as a result of increased demand, limited capacity, and shipping delays," he said, adding that Dollar Tree is "more sensitive" because it promises to offer items at $1, meaning that it has to absorb rising costs.

So they're becoming Dollar General?

quote:

"For decades, our customers have enjoyed the 'thrill-of-the-hunt' for value at one dollar — and we remain committed to that core proposition — but many are telling us that they also want a broader product assortment when they come to shop," Witynski said.

Said no one ever who regularly shops Dollar Tree

The reality of inflation under the current admin is about to hit the ghetto in a very big way.

I wonder if they will blame Dollar Tree or who they should be blaming?

Thank goodness. The package sizes have gotten as small as they can possibly be. I need more than a single grain of rice.
